As soon as she landed, Liu Yue'e was overwhelmed by the cold wind in Beijing.

Shen's father was also shivering. As a native of Guangdong Province who had never left the province for many years, he had never seen such cold weather at home.

Little Ma and Zeng Liqing are a bit better off, since they also travel frequently for work.

Shen Fang looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky.

"Wow, it's snowing again. Dad, you probably haven't seen snow in over ten years."

Dad nodded: "It's been more than ten years. The first time I saw snow was when I went to your maternal grandfather's house. So many years have passed, and I haven't seen it since. The key is that you can't even see this thing in Guangdong Province."

"Son, hurry up and go, I can't take it anymore."

Shen Fang nodded, and the group drove to the underground parking garage, found the car, and turned on the air conditioning, finally calming down.

"I was planning to stay here for a couple more days, but it's so cold. Ugh." Liu Yue'e rubbed her hands together.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Mom, there's underfloor heating and air conditioning in the house, so it's fine if you don't go out. If you want to go out, wear more clothes. Your clothes are still a bit thin. Tomorrow I'll have Xiao Pang and Qian Qian go shopping with you. You can't go out without a cotton-padded coat, your overcoat is too drafty."

"Hurry up, let's hurry, I can't wait to meet my second wives."

Shen Kun started the car.

Fifty minutes later, the group arrived at the Xishan Villa. The roads were slippery due to the snow, so they drove slowly and prioritized safety.

Shen Fang took out his key and opened the door. While sitting on the sofa, Du Manshen, Liu Qianqian, Fan Xiaopang, and Chen Huilin stood up and walked to the door.

Chen's mother looked at the four girls and her face beamed with joy.

"You must be Xixi, right? You're so pretty. What's going on here? This girl is so beautiful. You must be Huilin, right? You're so tall and have such a good temperament. You're definitely a lady from a good family. You must be Xiaopang, right? You have a great figure and you're pretty too. Celebrities are so good-looking. Hello, Man Shen, I'm your fan."

Seeing Chen Ma's warm welcome, Liu Qianqian relaxed and smiled sweetly, "Hello, Auntie."

Mother Shen exclaimed in admiration, "She's so beautiful! She's even prettier than in the photos. How did she grow up to be so gorgeous?"

"Auntie, have some tea." Chen Huilin offered a cup of hot tea to Aunt Chen in a very ingratiating manner.

Chen's mother was very happy: "She's so sensible and knows how to care for others. I'm actually hungry."

Fan Xiaopang was not to be outdone, serving up the prepared fruits and snacks.

"Auntie, this is a salad I made especially for you. I put lots of cherries and green grapes in it, which are all your favorites. I also brought these pastries from Shandong. Please try them."

Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded: "They are all good daughters, good daughters."

Shen Fang closed the door and watched as his mother warmly chatted with the three women and Man Shen.

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Mom, are you satisfied?"

As Liu Yue'e ate pastries and sipped fragrant tea, her face was beaming with a radiant smile.

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied, it's just that you guys have had to suffer."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian quickly shook her head: "No, I'm willing."

Kelly Chen and Fan Xiaopang also stated their positions.

"Old Shen, bring out the gifts you prepared for your daughters-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen put down his teacup, opened his suitcase, took out a large box, and handed it to Mrs. Shen.

When Chen's mother opened the box, several antique jade bracelets with simple colors and vibrant hues appeared.

"These were all bought by your uncle at a high price from outside. Consider them a gift from your aunt to you when you first meet."

Chen Huilin's family is in the jewelry business. These antique jade pieces are of superior quality and are obviously high-quality. The dragon and phoenix patterns with gold trim were added later. These jade pieces alone would cost several hundred thousand yuan, let alone the fact that he is a shareholder.

Chen Huilin quickly shook her head: "Auntie, these are too precious. They are all Uncle's treasures."

Liu Yue'e wouldn't let Chen Huilin refuse, so she took out a jade bracelet and put it on Chen Huilin's wrist.

"It suits you perfectly, it looks beautiful on you. Xiaolin, it complements you so well, and your fair skin makes it look even better."

Then she picked up a pair of purple, colorful bracelets and put them on Liu Qianqian's wrist.

"Beautiful, Qianqian. Do you like it?" Liu Yue'e looked at Liu Qianqian with affection. She was so pretty; all pretty little girls are lovable.

Liu Qianqian nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Finally, he took out a pair of red jade bracelets and put them on Fan Xiaopang's wrist.

"Bingbing, I felt you had a generous and outgoing personality from the first time we met. These bracelets are quite bright in color, do you like them? If you don't, I'll get you another one."

Fan Xiaopang took the bracelet directly and put it on his wrist. What a joke! No matter how ugly it is, he had to wear it even if his mother-in-law gave it to him. Besides, she wasn't unaware of its value; this was definitely a priceless piece of jade.

"Auntie, it looks great! You have excellent taste."

Liu Yue'e was very happy.

"Good girl."

"Lanlan, come here. Do you like what Grandma left for you? It's a gold hairpin that she specially left for you. Your great-grandfather spent a lot of money to buy it."

Shen Lanlan looked at the lifelike butterfly-shaped gold hairpin in Liu Yue'e's hand and shook her head.

"Grandma, you should keep it for yourself. I don't need this with my hairstyle."

Shen Fang immediately sensed that the hairpin was no ordinary item.

"Dad, where did you get this?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen was taken aback: "This? It belonged to the family who rented our house a few years ago. I liked it as soon as I saw it and thought I'd get it for your mother to wear, but she didn't like it, so I kept it. It's been quite a few years now. What's wrong?"

Shen Fang took the hairpin and examined it closely. The image was lifelike, and the carving technique was exquisite. There were also two pieces of turquoise attached to the butterfly tail. This thing could not possibly be a modern charity item.
